India Looks At Surpassing Best-ever Tokyo Tally Of 7 Medals In Paris 2024

By IANS News December 29, 2023 • 16:10 PM View: 553

Diamond League Finals: Excellence in non-cricket sports in India has always been measured in terms of medals won at the Olympic Games.

The quadrennial Games have been the pinnacle of success that only a few Indians have achieved, because in over a century of participation in the Olympic Games since making their debut at Stockholm in 1912, India have won only 35 medals -- 10 gold, nine silver and 16 bronze.

Of these, field hockey has contributed 12 medals -- eight gold, one silver and three bronze.
